Finale Round 3
by Pita Author IconMail Icon
This round's prompts are poetry a la Japanese: that is Japanese forms as well as those inspired by them.

To begin you will create one of each of the below poem type, they must be linked by your central theme. And you must follow the (parenthetical) rhyme scheme provided.

You will start with a haiku (5/7/5):

Reindeer smell funny
Leaping high when frightened or
happy in the snow.

Next you would write a Lune. A Lune is an American version of a haiku, with fewer syllables. It's scheme must be: 5/3/5.

Tiny fleas alight
tumble down
the Chimney so fast.

And lastly the Tanka, which is 5/7/5/7/7 and can be done as one group or as 5/7/4 7/7.

Hauling fat old man
Over rooftops dressed in snow
Christmas time below

Takes no account of reindeer
strain, I wish I had some hay.

So your posted poem should look like this:

Reindeer smell funny
Leaping high when frightened or
happy in the snow.

Tiny fleas alight
tumble down
the Chimney so fast.

Hauling fat old man
Over rooftops dressed in snow
Christmas time below

Takes no account of reindeer
strain, I wish I had some hay.

or

Reindeer smell funny
Leaping high when frightened or
happy in the snow.

Tiny fleas alight
tumble down
the Chimney so fast.

Hauling fat old man
Over rooftops dressed in snow
Christmas time below
Takes no account of reindeer
strain, I wish I had some hay.


Your prompt for this round is easy: Your entry must include any one of the following words or a description of one of these words:


Pixelated/pixel
Reindeer
Santa
Snow
Rude Noise(s) - either the term "rude noise" or including one such as a burp
